Let’s observe how man has transformed the landscape, how urbanization unfolds in these beautiful plains and valleys that are still unspoiled.
Aix TGV – Vitrolles
From a hyper-place concentrated in automobile flows and people, let us abandon ourselves to the traces of ancient roads, bauxite and life after fires. We walk from a magnificent haunted desert to an oasis of ocher freshness, Cadière will lead us to the city: Green Vitrolles.
